At The TAI Group, we specialise in Communications, Leadership, and Organisational Alignment using principles from the performing arts. What I particularly enjoy about this work is its experiential nature, inviting clients to step into a creative space; to let go of what no longer serves them; to connect with their core, their authenticity; to become more.

I use the term "Personal Change Agent"​ to describe my holistic approach to personal change work. I empower clients to reconnect with their authentic selves, deep within their core, through a combination of hypnotherapy, regression, neuro-linguistic programming, coaching, and energetic healing. This multi-faceted approach enables me to tailor sessions to.
